No, he isn't a choir boy. But that is the playoffs and you got a prepare for that. Ottawa finished their checks and played their game. If we can't take it to them, we don't deserve to win anything.

Hey, I have no problem with anyone who comes hard and clean. I do have a problem with a guy who's sole mission was to try and take a Ranger out. That's exactly what Carkner did, running Boyle from behind when his head was turned. I'd have less of a problem with a guy charging Hank if Hank shut the opponent out in the previous game, but to run a guy from behind is cowardly.

If the Rangers get knocked out I'll be rooting for Ottawa to come out of the East. Besides them who else is there to root for? Alfredson is the man, Karlson is Karlson, and I'm really hoping that Fasth can have a similar (or better) impact like Silfverberg.

Montreal just isn't ready. Too many super young players. They need to lose a few wars.

I don't think anyone winning anything from the east. West is going to take it again.

Ottawa is a nice dark horse, but they just don't have the guns. Pitt doesn't have the defensive depth/goaltending. Washington doesn't have much of anything outside of Ovie.

Boston is hard to pin down, but I don't think they are dynamic enough.

Its too bad, the east looks like its going to get blown right open. Rangers, if they had a competent coach, could have really made some noise this year. Oh well....

Still think any team in the east is going to get manhandled anyways. So I guess it doesn't really matter.

Hey, the EA simulation has the Rangers winning it all, and they've gotten just about every season right this far so.. Nothing's over yet, and they can still do something if they collectively wake up and have some of those post shots bounce/go right in.

Pfft, the only thing the Rangers are going to win this season are coupons to the Sizzler for placing third on the mini-golf course.
